Summary
Li Yan and Margaret Campbell return in a new story, years after the dramatic conclusion of Chinese Whispers.
'I saw your missing girl at a ghost wedding last week. She was the bride.'
It has been a whirlwind few years for Li Yan and Margaret Campbell. Nowadays, both are busy juggling their huge professional workloads - Li as the newly promoted chief of Beijing's serious crime squad and Campbell as lecturer at the University of Public Security - with the day-to-day raising of their young son, Li Jon.
When a desperate mother appeals to Campbell's own maternal instincts, Li agrees to look into the disappearance of a 17-year-old Beijing girl, Jiang Meilin. Yet Li's investigation soon turns from a favour into a full-scale murder enquiry. And when he receives an anonymous note, he learns Jiang Meilin's death is tied to a dangerous underground trade and a dark marital rite from China's past.

End of the China saga
Good story line but why so short. I thought this novella was to tie up the loose ends between the main characters, but no - don’t understand why Peter stopped short. Still at least Peter Forbes is back

Ghost marriage
So good but so short. I hope there is going to be more of the China thriller coming our way one day or maybe it’s time to move on.

too short
Peter Forbes was brilliant as always but story too short to enjoy it. Only bought it because the price was reduced.

Too short
Pity so short and no further development of key characters. Really enjoyed the background info on Chinese history, culture and belief systems in the series.

Excellent short story.
The novella is a fitting conclusion to the China stories of Peter May, wonderfully read as usual by Peter Forbes. l love May's other novels and characters but l really miss the brilliant characters, background and excitement of his China set novels.
